PDFCreate

Creates a PDF file from the specified source file.

Syntax

PDFCreate (strSourceFile { | ,optStrPdfFile })

strSourceFile

String specifying the file path and name of the desired source file ( *.doc, *.txt, or *.rtf ). If a file path is not specified, the function will look for the source file in the project folder.

Note: Follow the conventions of the target platform for the file path and name, and separators. For example, a file path in Windows starts with a drive letter and uses backward slashes as separators (C:\path\to\file), while a file path in Linux starts at the root directory and uses forward slashes as separators (/path/to/file).

optStrPdfFile

Optional string specifying the file path and name of the created PDF file. If a file path is not specified, then the PDF file will be saved in the same location as the source file. If this parameter is omitted — that is, if no file path or name is specified at all — then the PDF file will be saved in the same location and with the same name as the source file. Only a new extension is added. For example, C:\path\to\MyDocument.rtf becomes C:\path\to\MyDocument.pdf.

Note: Follow the conventions of the target platform for the file path and name, and separators. For example, a file path in Windows starts with a drive letter and uses backward slashes as separators (C:\path\to\file), while a file path in Linux starts at the root directory and uses forward slashes as separators (/path/to/file).

Returned value

Note: This function only supports the execution of one job at a time. If more than one user or command attempts to call the function at the same time, then the function will fail and return a value of 101.
